The Default texture pack, also known as the “vanilla” pack, is the standard texture pack for Minecraft. It is the first texture pack that players encounter when they start playing the game because it’s pre-installed and it serves as a template for creating custom textures. It was initially created by Markus “Notch” Persson, the creator of Minecraft, and has been updated and refined by Mojang and Microsoft, the companies that now own the game.

Certainly, you may have contemplated creating your own texture pack for Minecraft. One of the major challenges lies in the beginning stage, as many players are unaware of where to source textures as a foundation for their pack. However, this predicament has been resolved with the release of the original Default texture pack by some community members. The official textures of the game have been exported into a resource pack, enabling users to obtain and utilize all blocks, items, and sounds as a template for their custom texture pack.

Default Texture Pack for Creating Custom Packs

All in all, the Default texture pack is an excellent starting point for creating custom packs. Many players enjoy creating their own textures for Minecraft, either to personalize their game or to share them with others on our website. The default resource pack provides a solid foundation for these efforts, with clear, easy-to-understand textures that can be modified or replaced. This allows players to experiment with different textures and create unique, customized graphics for Minecraft that reflect their own preferences.

In general, the first step for creating a resource pack involves deciding whether you want to spend money or not. For example, you can install the free programs Gimp and Paint.net or the paid software Photoshop. Our team primarily utilizes Paint.net due to its comprehensive set of features for pixel blocks and items. Hence, we suggest starting with the free options. You may have prior experience with image editing. If this is the case, you may already utilize the professional program, Photoshop.

  1. For some reason, even though I downloaded the 1.20.4 folder and am using 1.20.4, my game is telling me that it was made for an older version of minecraft. So every time I open the game it says in big red letters and my background is now grey instead of the usual panning of a scenery. I’m quite annoyed by this, I can play the game normally, but my home screen background is broken and it’s annoying to have a pop up every time I want to play.

    • It looks like you need to update the pack.mcmeta file in the texture pack to match Minecraft 1.20.4.

      Quick fix:
      1. Open “pack.mcmeta” with a text editor.
      2. Find “pack_format” and update its value to the one for 1.20.4 (22). (You might want to check the correct pack_format value online.)

    • The leaf textures in the block folder are usually grayscale, the color is something the game adds on top as you play. I’ve never done it myself, but I believe you can edit the leaf texture to shift the color, or edit the foliage.png item in the color map folder. An easier option is finding a texture pack that changes the leaf colors and copying those into your texture pack.

      If the leaf color isn’t showing up in game, that’s a whole other problem I don’t know how to fix.

  2. I am making my own texture pack, and I need to know where to source the sounds from, but the default texture pack doesn’t have the sounds folder in it. Where can I find the source to implement into my own pack?

    • The creator has set the wrong pack_format in the MCMETA file. You can change the value from 11 to 12 to fix the incompatibility message. However, this is not absolutely necessary, because the pack also works with the pack_format 11 without any problems.

    • A number of the newer entities don’t have their own dedicated spawn egg textures. Instead, they all reference the same 2 images, a base and overlay texture, and in each entity’s client-side file there is defined a color for the base and overlay.

      For example, the Alley:
      “`json
      {
      “format_version”: “1.8.0”,
      “minecraft:client_entity”: {
      “description”: {
      “identifier”: “minecraft:allay”,
      . . .
      “spawn_egg”: {
      “base_color”: “#00daff”,
      “overlay_color”: “#00adff”
      }
      }
      }
      }
      “`

      And then with older entities, such as Zombies:
      “`json
      {
      “format_version”: “1.10.0”,
      “minecraft:client_entity”: {
      “description”: {
      “identifier”: “minecraft:zombie”,
      . . .
      “spawn_egg”: {
      “texture”: “spawn_egg”,
      “texture_index”: 12
      }
      }
      }
      }
      “`

      All of this is fully configurable through resource packs, and can be done for both Vanilla and Custom entities. You can also define custom texture definitions in `item_textures.json` to use as your entity spawn eggs should you wish to. It’s all fairly obvious how it’s done when you look at it.

      • Ok, but it says this ”As a result, you can now download all blocks, items, and **SOUNDS**, and use them as a template for your own texture pack.” But thank you!

  3. Only got this cuz I wanted to save hours of my life manually putting the sounds there, so i could just easily listen and replace sounds as I go.

  4. i tryed to put minecraft 1.18.2 textures for 1.8.9 but it shows purple and black glitch blocks for everything please help

    Reply
    • Why are you downloading the 1.18.2 version? The new textures do not work in old versions. If you are playing with 1.8.9 you need to download the Default Pack for 1.8.X.

  5. I copied the whole pack, but changed the birch log texture and it doesn’t work (also how to make custom names for items etc.?)

    Reply
  6. Is it possible to edit the langauge files for this texture pack? I haven’t had luck. I can’t tell if its because of it being a .JSON file or just cause they changed the way the file works for 1.18.1.

    Reply
    • You can only insert images in an image editing program and not entire folders. The textures must always be in PNG format. A suitable file would be e.g. “block.png”.

  7. I highly advise NOT using Photoshop. Photoshop is a gosh-awful expensive program, and using Gimp or other free/close-to free programs doesn’t mean you’re a “lesser” creator, it just means you’re someone smart enough not to fall into the Adobe payment plan pitfall. Also, this base is a lifesaver, thanks!
